Went to see FDR and Eleanor's estate in Hyde Park... I didn't know much about or thought how he struggled through life having polio. Having to use a wheelchair most of his life because his legs didn't work.. But that didn't stop him from being President of the United States. 

But, his disability had to remain a secret in those days so he wouldn't appear weak.

A a least today we don't have to hide our disabilities or be outcasts from society. We have laws against   against people who have e ail needs.. 

We now have facilities for wheelchairs , special building codes that make room for wheelchairs, etc..

We are making progress , but still have a long way to go....
